I was recently interviewed at International Mining and Resources Conference about my views on metals markets and experiences along my journey.

Strange feeling when some of the people you idolise, the people who helped you grow are sitting in a crowded room waiting for your interpretation of a changing environment. My number one motto "it is the people around you that make you who you are". The people around me mad me who I am and I dont need to mention their names they all know who they are. Thank you!

For those of you who know me well know that when I am excited it's my hands that do the talking.

8 years ago I made a list of 10 charities and wanted to find one I wanted to wholeheartedly support. I tried to find one that would have related closest to my life and family.

Picture this. Picture your father is a taxi driver working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Mother is working during the day at a sandwich shop and raising 3 kids. Living from week to week to pay the rent and put food on the table. Now imagine the youngest child develops a terminal disease and has 2 months to live.

Imagine the devastation. Imagine being the father and having to need to go to work the next day to put food on the table and roof over their head. You would desperately wanting to hold your wife and more importantly be your son's superman whilst he goes through this impossible time.

This could happen to any one of us. It could happen to someone you know. We can get lucky in life and we could also get very unlucky.

Well this is why I chose @tlcforkids they help in situations like this and many others without the massive overheads of other organizations. @timconolan and @ana_darras and their amazing team have been selfless for the last 20 years having assisted over 8.5 million sick children and their families in one way or another.

My partner in the @daylesfordpolo Ben Kay decided we would give the Daylesford cup event to @tlcforkidsIt will be an awesome day and every dollar will be going to help families who got unlucky.

When the management teams come in to initially present their visions and dreams our due diligence begins. Investing is a lot like horse racing. A professional can analyze a horse's pedigree, stance, throat, blood etc but you never really know how good they are going to be until they are on the race track. I can never really can be 100% certain which management team is going to be a winner. All I am doing is backing people and I genuinely want people who deserve it to succeed.
